FEDORA’S POVInstinctively, I reached out, yearning to touch him, but before I could, Lorcan regained control of the kiss, snapping me back to reality. His kiss was everything but gentle. It was bruising, it was brutal but at the same time, it was hot and out of this world.My hands, which had been reaching for Oscar, landed on Lorcan's face instead. At that moment, something shifted between us. Lorcan deepened the kiss making it difficult for me to even breathe, forcefully claiming me as his. The kiss lacked the warmth and tenderness that Oscar's gaze had evoked inside me, I longed for that warmth. This kiss held nothing but anger and resentment. It felt more like a punishment than an expression of desire. I resisted, my brain urging me to pull away but the mate bond tried convincing me otherwise, Hera however knew that something was wrong with his behaviour so I tried to resist, but he ignored my protests.Finally, with Hera's unexpected intervention, I found the strength to push Lo

FEDORA’S POVHis words struck me with a mix of frustration and disbelief. Did he truly believe that a mere title or a mere promise visit to my pack would resolve the underlying issues between us? It was clear that Lorcan was oblivious to the emotional connection and mutual respect that should form the foundation of a true mate bond.My heart pounded in my chest as I retreated from the forest. The darkness and silence around me mirrored the turmoil within. I couldn't bear the thought of being trapped in a loveless union with Lorcan, unable to express my true desires and be with someone who cherished me for who I was.I know that he is strict, cruel and emotionless. But how disconnected he is from the basic emotions.Why is it so hard for him to understand that the title of Luna and shared power is not the real solution for us?As Lorcan walked away without even a single glance toward me, his footsteps heavy and desperate, I made a decision right then and there. I couldn't waste any mor

But the entire hall was filled with chaos, and I stood in the center of the pack's gathering hall, surrounded by the buzz of excitement.My mother called me to show me this.I thought it was some kind of emergency. Or maybe the rogues attacked again...but i was certainly not expecting this.And what the hell is going on here?My eyes navigated the entire hall to find the kind face of my mother and I did find her with tears in her eyes.I stepped in her direction but when someone congratulated me for finding my mate and telling me that I am lucky to have him as my mate I realized what was going on.It had been several weeks since I heard from him and now receiving these extravagant gifts from him, each one a testament to his wealth and power as the Alpha. The room was filled with whispers of envy and admiration, but I couldn't h

ALPHA LORCAN’S POVAs the icy water passed my parched throat, a strange taste settled in my mouth. The intense heat seemed to surround my body and my wolf growled in my mind demanding to be let out and I could feel myself losing control of my wolf side.I looked at Melantha and tried to ask what was wrong with me. But her sudden flirtatious gestures and provocative remarks took a sudden turn, revealing a side of her I hadn't expected."Come on, Lorcan," Melantha purred, her voice dripping with seduction. "I bet I've got a figure that could satisfy you better in bed than that mountain bitch."My eyes widened in both shock and anger. Did she really just say that about my mate? The audacity of her words hit me like a slap to the face. I could feel the rage bubbling up inside me, threatening to consume my self-control.Before I could respond, I noticed a strange sensation coursing through my body. Everything started to feel hazy, as if I had been drugged. Panic surged within me as I reali
